Hi Mary Jean!
Thank you so much for stopping by planDisney with your early entry question! Can you believe you’ll be walking right down the middle of Main Street, in just a few short weeks! I bet you can already hear the sweet harmonies of the Dapper Dans welcoming you in—and don't forget to follow the scent of magic to the back of the Main Street Confectionery, where you’ll find Kernel Kitchen! Creating your own popcorn masterpiece is one of my family's favorite must-dos—it’s like a snack and a souvenir in one!
Now let’s hop aboard like we’re catching the monorail and dive into your question! Early Entry is such a practically perfect way to get a head start on some of those must-do attractions, like Guardians of the Galaxy at EPCOT or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom. In addition to the Disney Resort hotels, several others also sprinkle a bit of extra pixie dust with Early Entry, including:
- Walt Disney World Swan Hotel
- Walt Disney World Swan Reserve
- DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando
- Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista
- Four Seasons Resort Orlando
- and many more!
You can check the complete list of participating hotels at the bottom of the page
here.
And Mary Jean, since you're arriving during one of the most blooming magical times of the year, don’t miss the EPCOT
Flower & Garden Festival! It’s truly a feast for all the senses—from the vibrant topiaries to the delicious Outdoor Kitchens. And if you're visiting with any Mouseketeers (or just young at heart), make sure to grab a map and join in Spike the Bee’s scavenger hunt—my kids adore it!
I hope this helped sprinkle a little extra magic on your planning. If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to stop by again.
See you real soon!
Christina
